Lucky Film Lucky SHD 100
A Chinese black-and-white film that was discontinued for years before being relaunched in 2024/2025. Produces classic, traditional-looking images with fine grain and medium contrast—reminiscent of older European emulsions. At around £6 per roll, it's one of the most affordable options for shooting film today. Technical data is limited as the manufacturer doesn't publish detailed specifications, but early user reports suggest it handles well in standard developers. An interesting choice for budget-conscious shooters or anyone curious about lesser-known emulsions.
